Frosty- trying to remember- did Paige ever lead at any point last year?
So looking at the next few segments, we will finally have some short runs.
Eagle Island is just an Island and no town, so the checkpoint is a cabin on the island.
Eagle Island to Greyling is 56 miles.
Greyling to Anvik is 21 miles.
After Anvik, the teams get off the Yukon for the first time in days, taking a 28-mile overland route to Shageluk. According to website, Shageluk "is an Ingalik Indian name meaning "village of the dog people,""
After that, it is 28 miles back to Greyling and they then go back up the Yukon the way they came down until hitting Kaltag again.
Weather reports in Kaltag, Greyling, Anvik and Shageluk have temperatures ranging from a low of 0 to a high of 30 when I looked, so will be a little bit cooler. It has also been snowing steadily on the 3 live feeds from Galena, Nulato and Kaltag. Mushers in the interviews continue to comment on the warm temperatures (by interior Alaska in March standards). Teams have wanted to rest during the day and run mostly at night. Will be after 2 PM east coast/after 10 AM Alaska when Paige, Jessie and Matt start getting to Eagle Island. Will see if people push through, take a few hours break or take their 8 hour layover to then be able to start up again in the early evening. Jessie just came off his 24, so I'm sure he won't take the 8 here.
Everyone has to take the 8 hour layover somewhere on this loop, though I'm not sure if you can do it in Kaltag itself or if it has to be on the loop itself.
Of course we would pull Kentucky. Such a Virginia Tech thing to happen
Well you seem to be in a good mood.
